“After a successful surgery that was very traumatic to my body, I had a shamanic reiki session that was of spiritual and physical healing with Nicole, Chakra Shaman. I can tell you many things however first, you are blessed to even have the opportunity to be supported by her. I doubt there are many people locally or even nationally who haven’t just found natural healing but have been called and obtained 20+ years of practice. My review is that I was blown away by how much she brought into my session. I was comforted by my ancestors, had a spiritual awakening that lasted, and felt an end to the trauma to my body. You are in the right place and will be in the “right hands”. Glad you read my review however you’ll likely wonder “Why did I need one? once you start working with Nicole. ”

Shamanic Reiki Therapy
Shamanic Reiki with the Chakra Shaman combines the holistic modalities of Shamanic Healing, Reiki, Sound Healing, physical mediumship, with the Chakra Shaman’s extensive knowledge or the chakra system and trauma release together in intensive transformational experience. A description of each of these modalities and what a session might be like is below.
Description and Background of Modality:
Reiki is a Japanese word used to denote a healing process that involves the use of universal life force energy. “Rei” means spiritual consciousness which understands the person, their problems, the cause, and how to heal. “Kei” is the life force energy. When the life force energy of the individual is unbalanced, illness, pain, and dis-ease set in. Reiki Therapy balances life force energy in a physical, spiritual, and emotional level working on both symptoms as well as causes. Reiki is now being used in hospitals, medical and holistic centers, hospice centers, health fairs, yoga studios, spiritual centers, and homes for people, animals, plants, and everything. Reiki can shorten healing time with injury or sugery, reduce or eliminate pain, reduce stress, and help create optimism. Reiki is complementary to any healthcare or holistic modality. Reiki can never cause harm because it is guided by universal spiritual wisdom or sometimes called god consciousness and will adjust itself to the client’s needs no matter where the practitioner has their hands
Shamanism is an ancient healing tradition and a way of life it is not a belief system. Essential aspects of shamanic life include journeying into altered states of consciousness, ceremony, sacred dance, and pilgrimages to places of power in nature and listening to the life force spiritual energy that’s in all things and all dimensions. Through these techniques, shamanism unifies our lives with strength, healing, and love.
A Shamanic Healer/Practitioner is one who has been initiated into the ancient tradition of walking “between” this and other worlds while in a state of ecstatic trance or altered states of consciousness. They may go into this altered state of consciousness through a repetitive sound, chant or drum. Through a change in consciousness, Shamans enter “non-ordinary” reality to request healing and advice from compassionate animals, humans, and other spirits. In this state, the shaman acts as a bridge between worlds and uses the knowledge gained from doing so to help others in spiritual healing. They often take on the role of a teacher, priest, spiritual healer, medicine person, or earth protector, to a community or tribe. Spiritual healing is complementary to modern medicine, therapy, and training. Often it is the missing link, the wind in the sails that allows healing, recovery, and training to rapidly progress. Some shamans will specialize in plant spirit medicines while others will specialize in ceremonies and shamanic healing sessions with going into altered states. Some will assist transitioning the spirit out of the body when the body can no longer hold the spirit while some assist the spirits who come into the world such as birth and death duals.
Shamanic Healing-
- Illness Extraction/Shamanic Healing- Often illness has a spiritual component as well as a physical component. When people and animals are vulnerable and disempowered it is possible for entities that don’t belong to enter our bodies. These misplaced entities can cause persistent sickness, soreness, and other undesirable things. As a shaman one of my key functions is to work with my spirits to extract these misplaced entities and deliver them to a neutral place, where they can contribute to the overall good of things (instead of causing harm). This process is called extraction, and it is a very common healing activity in my work. The results are immediate and powerful. After an extraction, we always fill the space with a positive healing power of some kind.
- Soul Retrieval/Shamanic Healing- Shamans believe that when a person suffers from a physical or psychological trauma a part(s) of the soul splits off and no longer 1contributes to the person’s whole being. Instead, it stays fixed in the event, but in non-ordinary reality. This dissociation is called soul loss, and it often results in loss of memory or a feeling of incompleteness. This disengagement makes it easier to survive traumas such as accidents, abuse, or emotional disturbances. Children can suffer soul loss from events that are traumatic to them but may seem trivial to adults. Soul loss can also occur when another person “holds” onto a part of us, and doesn’t let go. Once the traumatic event is over complete healing can occur when the soul part(s) that is missing is returned. The shaman facilitates this event by journeying into non-ordinary reality and, with the help of spirit allies, finding the missing soul parts and bringing them back home. Then there is a period of integration, where the client gets to know the returned soul part(s) again, and together they work to heal the old wounds. This often takes several months.
- Power Animal Retrieval/Shamanic Healing– All people and animals can enjoy the power, strength, and comfort of an alliance with a spiritual power animal. The spirits of wild animals work with shamans, guiding them through their journeys, giving advice, and performing healings. Often the first thing a modern shamanic healer does for a client retrieves a power animal for them. The person then bonds with the animal by honoring it in ordinary reality, visiting it during quiet meditation, and dancing in a way that lets the animal move through his or her limbs. Domestic animals also benefit from power animal retrieval.
Why is receiving Shamanic Reiki Session from The Chakra Shaman, so different?
“After a successful surgery that was very traumatic to my body, I had a shamanic reiki session that was of spiritual and physical healing with Nicole, Chakra Shaman. I can tell you many things however first, you are blessed to even have the opportunity to be supported by her. I doubt there are many people locally or even nationally who haven’t just found natural healing but have been called and obtained 20+ years of practice. My review is that I was blown away by how much she brought into my session. I was comforted by my ancestors, had a spiritual awakening that lasted, and felt an end to the trauma to my body. You are in the right place and will be in the “right hands”. Glad you read my review however you’ll likely wonder “Why did I need one? once you start working with Nicole. ”
Recent Review from Jay A, Amherst New York
The chakra shaman/Nicole spends several hours preparing for your session. She spends a lot of time balancing her own energy and letting go of blockages to be a clear portal for healing energy and the beings in the spiritual realms that assist during the session. For the chakra shaman your 2hr session is most of the day in preparations and being in altered state of consciousness or trance. During the session our ancestors, spirit guides, helping spirits, and whomever else is called in physically works through her. They often will use the chakra shamans body moving her arms, instruments, moving the energy around and through her body so it can be extracted a message or image be given to her or the client. So don’t be alarmed if you hear sounds coming from the Chakra Shaman to release that energy such as burping, dry heaving, or other sounds or other languages that might be coming from the spirit realms. While the Chakra Shaman is in trance and altered state of consciousness the spirits may use her extensive knowledge of the energy body, chakras and meridians and her Reiki attunement, sound healing from singing bowls, tuning forks and percussion instruments to assist in creating balance and healing.
The initial Shamanic Reiki session does include a 30 min follow-up spiritual counseling phone call within a week of the session and any related assignments emailed to you to assist in the intention, transformation, and healing on deeper levels. “I don’t just give people sessions and send them on their way to deal with the aftermath of detoxing what was extracted and adjusting to the power animal or soul part coming back, which can be difficult. I will be here for you”; Nicole the Chakra Shaman
What to expect during the Shamanic Reiki Session
After getting you comfortable on a massage table (fully clothed) the Chakra Shaman/Nicole will start to call in both of our spirit guides, helpers, and ancestors from all directions to assist us in the session. During the session, Nicole may use her hands above or gently on your body. If you need soul or power animal retrieval generally an extraction and energy balancing will need to be done first to prepare you for that soul part or power animal to come back that’s why a session can be a couple of hours. During the session our ancestors, spirit guides, helping spirits, and whomever else is called in physically works through her. They often will use her body to by moving her arms, instruments, moving the energy around and through her body so it can be extracted a message or image be given to her or the client. So don’t be alarmed if you hear sounds coming from the Nicole to release that energy that doesn’t belong such as burping, dry heaving, or other sounds. You or the shaman may even messages, images or other languages coming from the spirit realms. The sprits sometimes use Nicole’s extensive knowledge of the energy body, chakras and meridians and Reiki Attunement, Sound Healing from singing bowls, tuning forks and percussion instruments to assist in creating balance and healing.
During the session you may feel sensations such as warming, cooling. vibrations. tingling, twitching, heaviness, lighter, zapping, sparks of pain. You may go into deep relaxation or a meditative trance-like state, you may feel more than one person working on you, which is the chakra shaman and our guides. You may have intense emotions come up. Overall people feel deep sense of relaxation and peace, decreased pain, helps with digestion and elimination, decreased excessive mental activity, and increased clarity, contentment, sense of security, and inner strength and empowerment.
An illness extraction, power animal retrieval, or soul retrieval may occur during the session if needed. If a soul or power animal retrieval is needed a preparation of clients’ energy will be needed (extraction and chakra balancing) to bring in the soul or power animal which may occur in one or multiple sessions.
You will receive assignments information and wisdom from the session emailed to you after the session. A 30 min follow up phone call or video chat will be scheduled for one week after the session for integration. 2 tune up sessions is recommended about 1-3 months after initial session

1hr Tune-Up Session one month and two months after the Initial 2hr Shamanic Reiki Session $111 each
Chakra Therapy For Trauma Release
What is a Chakra?
Chakras or “wheel of light” in Sanskrit are subtle energy centers or portals between the inner and external worlds. There defined as centers of organization for reception, assimilation, and expression of life force energy for physical and spiritual well-being. They represent aspects of who we are, how and what we think and feel, and our ability to change, grow, and transform. They are associated with the endocrine and nervous systems and when there is an imbalance in the Chakra system it may cause symptoms in the physical, mental emotional body.
Through each charka we gain a deeper understanding of how we experience life, why we experience it the way we do; how we perceive reality and why; and how we relate to ourselves, others, and society.
Personal Chakra Therapy for Trauma Release– Chakra Therapy is the art of conducting body-oriented psychotherapy using somatic and energetic tools and techniques for healing in the body, mind, and spirit. It utilizes the models of the chakra system and bioenergetic character structures as principle architecture to accomplish these goals. Peals away layers of core problems that create blocks in the chakras that can create further frustration, discomfort, illness, addiction, or dysfunctional behavior. $222
